One could argue that the intention of the law is to make it possible to collect revenue from non-EU companies. Since the EU doesn't have any sizable internet companies. Not counting Prosus group as they are a holding company, Spotify is the biggest at 100mm. EU doesn't care about small / midsized companies because they don't have enough income to bother with. "The purpose of a system is what it does".
- Y-bar 9mo ago> EU doesn't care about small / midsized companies because they don't have enough income to bother with. I am so very tempted to quote you sarcastically using mixed upper lower case text for how incredible wrong you are. Yes, there is less enforcement than I want of GDPR, but any insinuation that they do not bother is a lie. Here is your proof: https://www.enforcementtracker.com/ https://www.enforcementtracker.com/

- Y-bar 9mo agoNone. EU has no bank account. Fines are levied by member countries and their equivalent of the IRS and police collects them. Collecting these fines are a requirement to be a voting member of the EC, so any member state that fails to collect will be stripped of their right to vote on EU regulations.

- briandw 9mo agopoint conceded, they do enforce gdpr on smaller companies thanks for the enforcement tracker link i scraped that page to get the raw data and added it up by company. i wanted to see how much the main us tech companies paid vs everyone else these aren't audited but total €6,848,216,522 us tech €4,527,961,028 so 66% from just a few companies from outside europe
